Former Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association, Ibrahim Sannie Daara has backed calls for the inclusion of home based players in the Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup.
Saanie argued that sending one or two players from the Ghana Premier League will shine a light on the country’s top flight division.
He however opposed the quota system insisting players plying their trade domestically have to prove themselves worthy of being selected.
“For me, I’m not into the quota system because it does not create competition for the team but out of strategy and for many other reasons, in my opinion, we should include one or two players in the Black Stars. At the World Cup stage, players who play including substitutes will be 15.
“Including one or two players in the Black Stars will also help the gravity of the local league. In my opinion, some local players making up the World Cup squad will let people know worldwide that there is something good in our league,” he said on Asempa FM.
Ghana will be making their fourth appearance at the global showpiece in Qatar.
The Black Stars are in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
